Went for a drive today here are some scenery taster pics for the annual meet!

I'm so gutted I'm having to go to work when this meet is happening.

Looking at the road surface there few more inches over and you would belly the car out.

That'll be the Rest and Be Thankfull next to Loch Restil? Didnt your Dad mind you taking his car Connor?

It is indeed David, the roads were not that busy today, and as the speed limiter is at a Conference:rolleyes: in Paris we were able to test Connor's new camera on a dash down from Dalmally to Inverary. Best watched in 1080p apparently:Confused: (that'll be your bif telly Jim+++)

yeah some very interesting examples of road design up there, this one was a bit of a surprise, note the kerb suddenly appearing which narrows the gap between the truck, still we made it with only a minor wobble+++

Gutted as it looks like it will be a cracker and commitments mean I can't make it:(

Enjoy +++

I guess its not unusual. Wait until the Annual Meet attendees come up the A82 by Loch Lomond. I will ensure all are warned. Dont want people arriving minus wing mirrors or with a great scrape down the side. The Lochs and Glens coaches dont take prisoners and the collapsing walls are a hazard all by themselves.

Until, as I've said before, you've driven "The Wee Mad Road" in an A8 you are in no position to comment on narrow roads. :tuttut:

Enjoy the roads up there.

That's thin road HP.
Since I got the 8 I stay away from small coastal towns and roads.

That's not the narrowest bit. ;)
Here's another thin road, but no walls and stopped briefly in a passing place:

Speaking of narrow roads, here's one I was on a short time ago, whilst out photographing some war graves.
